As if something truly "revolutionary" came to iphone 4s when it was released. Siri? is that it? A gimmicky feature? Dual-core? oh please. 8-MP camera? Nokia had 12MP camera when iphone only released 5MP. 512 ram? HA-HA.

Iphone 5? What do you think would come and be labeled as "revolutionary"? The new in-cell display technology? OH did apple made that? NO.

If there's a revolutionary companies in the mobile world, i'll give it to four. NOKIA, SAMSUNG, AND LG, and SONY. Oh, did I just mention the original mobile OEMs? yup. I just did.

The only revolutionary thing apple made was releasing a phone with a huge screen way back 2007. After that? pleaasseeee.

For me its a tragic if Nokia, the true innovator of cell phone should fail.

I would not have switch brand if Elop did not make that burning platform announcement. I might even stick around to try their wp phone instead i trade in my nokia C7 for a motorola milestone 2 that same week.

true.. well said!! iPhone is for "Status Symbol" while android and Windows Phone and even BlackBerry are for multitasker!!! even symbian is better than iOS when in terms of multitasking and user-friendly OS ( i got lost navigating on an iPhone many times 5 times i guess.. im even an iPhone fan)

I agree with you buddy. The problem is there isn't a lot of people like us (tech obsessive). I really want WP8 to succeed. And Microsoft has the ecosystem (skydrive, hotmail and even bing) to do it. If nothing it will encourage ios and android to be even better then they are.

Apple had huge success marketing its brand as a premium product, minimalist design was a big in 2007. now that Apple has started suing every tom d**k and harry that makes a smartphone.. not very good for their image and their lack of innovation was exposed as it sends our the wrong msg to the buyer.

yeah.. i think pureview with 8MP is cheating.. i hope the rumored 21MP is true.. if they just put 8MP Pureview i think they should just put N8 Sensor to it.. atleast its 12MP and still one of the best cameraphone till now!

i think Microsoft should buy that NINA voice assistant... and put it to WP8.. its par to siri and google now! they need to have a voice assistant now coz if they dont have one, they still lag behind android and iOS... even Blackberry is making its own voice assistant for BB10!!

What? who says that i'm linking new phones with failures? What are you talking about. You're the one linking it. What just happened? You forgot what you commented? :O

I'm satisfied with nokia's designs. They're the best in terms of phone designs. Next is sony, then htc, followed by LG.

If you're getting sick with nokia's design, why aren't you getting sick with apple's? In terms of designs, how can you differentiate iphone 4 with 4s? The only innovation in the design that will come to iphone 5 is the screen size. Nothing more, nothing less.

Design is fine, all Nokia needs is a more powerful flagship and more apps.. In addition Microsoft should take more advantage Xbox live mobile. How about some exclusive Orignal Xbox games for WP? I think that would sale some phones but, the hardware needs to be powerful to handle cool stuff that would attract new customers who are going with other devices. Hopefully the Lumia 920 can deliver or at least hold Nokia over until something does.

The rate at which Nokia is losing cash seems much greater than what it is expected to earn. This is presuming Windows Phone's market share might still increase but at snail's pace. What will it be? 4.5% next year?
iPhone and Android tasted success really rapidly bcoz they had something different and desirable to offer.
WP offers simplicity and elegance perhaps, but nothing groundbreaking in terms of features....

The problem with staking your fortune to MS is that you become dependent on MS for your survival. WP was a work-in-progress compared to Android through WP7.8. Only iDevice fans will accept an OS that is dated before the handset ships.

The problem for Nokia this time around is that the Lumia handsets with WP8 on them won't be able to sell until WP starts to ship, which is when - late October, 2012? Meanwhile, the iPhone 5 (or whatever Apple is going to call it) will have been selling for a month (September 21 is supposed to be the ship date).

Is there a point we stop rehashing the obvious? Yes, Nokia has nose dived. Yes Nokia is all in on an as yet unproven OS worldwide. Yes, WP 8 is the end game for Nokia. They were pointing to WP 8 even before they released their WP 7 devices.

No one on Phone Arena doesn't know this, unless you registered recently or are waiting on thee braille version of the web site. There is still the Nokia name, worlwide distrubution, and Microsoft's backing going for it. The first Lumina devices were very well received. Nokia will survive if these devices launch well, they continue to grow in China, they convert even half of their fan base, and they follow up in 2013 with other devices that give a little flair and fun.

At this point it is just seeming to be cheap thrill writing. If Nokia fails, then that is news. If they succeed, that will be better news. This story no longer news.

The idea of this article is not to break thrilling news, but recap what has happened with Nokia so far and what we should expect ahead of the September 5th event, for those who haven't stayed in the loop.

But it has been recapped. And recapped again. It could be referenced to any one of a dozen articles in the past half year. This is a FUN time for new handsets. This is a FUN time for OS's. This is the first week of your favorite sport- everyone has a chance to improve. Nokia still has a very solid chance to rebound. Yes, they have made it very hard on themselves, but it is still easy to see a path to Nokia being Nokia. You have a very intellegent readership here. Let the soap opera play out.

Again... everyone here knows. You are not breaking a Muppet News Flash. Wait until mid-2013. Than we will see where Nokia ends up. They will still turn better profits per handset than they did, so they could sell half as many phones and turn a huge profit.

My guess is 35-40 million WP handsets in 2013 will keep them profitable and independent. As WP could easily get to 10% in 2013 and almost all of that will be Nokia, that is not out of reach.

If they release what we are expecting based on rumors and leaks, then they maybe have a chance. But it's gonna be rough. Too rough. The strategy was disaster till now. They are most probably too late to the party.

Personally, I believe that Nokia would only partially survive, and restructure itself to a smaller company or, most probably, be sold to Microsoft like Motorola to Google.

if Nokia brings something our of the box it will defiantly WIN , and if apple's iphone looked like as it is now in the blogshper a tall iphone 4sh Nokia will win again .. Unless Apple brings a new design and knock down every one , but with this tall design only retards will buy it again ...

I would hate to see Nokia go, so I hope that everything would work out well for them. After all, Nokia is the one who first got me so hooked up in the mobile technology back in early 2000. (even if i'm an Android user now)

yes thats where nokia tops on samsung staraight away far better phones design is one thing
-support vise nokia wins
-exclusive hardware nokia wins
-color chocie nokia win
-hardware is what all can OEM have to put in same hardware
so please tell me where does samsung come on top historically and FACTS only

Well Nokia match LG optimus G in terms of
Specs, and take it one notch higher by
squeezing ur Pureview camera in ur 'something
Big' smartphone; then surely u will be again on
the path to be smartphone 'king'.............now hoping for the best.............

windows 7 is a fantastic OS, and more kinks hv been ironed out in windows 8... so wp is now as good as iOS if not better... sadly tho, people didnt buy into wp7 and, i dont think, things will turn out better for wp8, therefore the end of nokia as we know it...

Peoples views/trust to the Nokia brand is different now than when Nokia was once the mobile king. The same can be said to Samsung. There are more people I know who are familiar with the Galaxies than ever hearing of Lumia. I wish good luck to Nokia. Hope prices will be kept reasonable.

A Nokia store just closed in a shopping mall near me, after being there for years. Seriously, I feel that's about it for them. WP8, WP9, WP10 or Whatever, no one is using windows phone around my workplace anymore. I look around and it is all iphones and Android phones. I'm talking about hundreds of people I see every week at work, in the company canteen, in the offices, in the production floors, in meetings etc. Every time someone whips out a phone, it is an iPhone or Android phone. And if you are using a smartphone, you are basically tied to a 2-years contract with data plan. Even if the Nokia Lumias is great, there is something else to choose from like the S3, Note2, HTC One X, Sony & LG new Androids, the upcoming iPhone 5 etc. Everyone is tied to the IOS and Android ecosystem now. Would they change? I really doubt it as Nokia Windows phones are really really late in the game. They should made a fantastic Android phone instead since everyone is on the bandwagon and changing to another Android phone makes more sense if they are coming from one. Good luck to them anyway. They need it.
